Pros

401k - 5% match, plus an additional 5% yearly contribution in Q1 each year to employee 401k Time off, 2 weeks vacation for years 1-4, 3 weeks for years 5-9, 4 weeks for years 10-19, 5 weeks max at 20 years of service. Holiday time includes 8 scheduled/national holidays in the US, plus 4 floating holidays. -Family owned feeling, although that has diminished in recent years...

Cons

Privately owed, so this limits capital invested into maintain production plants and labs.

Slow to provide raises or promote from within...
